Hey guys Chapter 17 is finally up! I know it took me a while but when I posted chapter 16, I hadn't even started on Chap 17 :P!

Since many of you appreciated my thank you's in the last chapter, I'm going to do them again. Also, I think I said it in the last chapter but I'm going to say it again, for those who don't see their name that must mean that they reviewed after I started typing my story. That was just to clear things up.

Here are the thank you's :

Ultimate Demigod98 : Thanks again and it's no problem. You guys give me awesome reviews, so I guess it's only fair that I say thanks :D!

xXxWiseGirlxXx : Thank you for that long review! I love them! Biancolm…hmm…not a bad idea XD! No, I won't let Annabeth go into depression mode again. I'm not that evil! He'll come soon don't worry. Didn't you hear to what Bianca said? And Annabeth will get her happy ending because after everything I put her through in my story, it's only fair! And yeah, Bianca can be a bit evil :D! My ideas are open and anyone can use them!

Soonersgirl86 : oh you bet it will be right again! If not by this chapter, then by the next. I'm not saying ;)

cRazYrAnd0mPeRs0n : Thank you. I really appreciate it :D!

BriBri : what happened was necessary to make the story interesting. But there's only 1 more obstacle in the way before they get their happy ending. I'm guessing you know what it is!

Earthshaker99: Thank you. And Percy will return don't worry! He can't disappear forever.

BlackHawk1997 : Thanks but I don't like the Princess Andromeda much! I prefer keeping the limits with Camp Half-Blood and Olympus. Besides, in my story, that ship doesn't exist :P!

muffinsPJIHP777 : Thank you. And I know. I rarely see authors reply to their reviews. But you can't blame them. It takes me a lot of time to reply to 20+ reviews :P! but I'm not complaining! And when you start posting fics, tell me! I'd be happy to read and review! It's the least I can do :D

123456 : Thanks :D

Piequeenthegreat : Yeah, I'm planning on having Percy return with a huge entrance! Hope you like it!

Emmettsfan090 : Sadly yes, that's how it is. But they'll be back together soon!

Storyteller1425 : By including those complications, I was hoping that I could show Percy and Annabeth as a normal, common couple, not some fantasy couple that gets everything right straight away and immediately gets their happy ending. I love stories with that kind of couple, but it's not very realistic. I hope my way of doing their relationship was more realistic. And thank you for your compliment :D

Incognito : to tell you the truth, I had a completely different plot but then I started getting these ideas and I ended up with the story I'm writing now. I doubt I would've got as much reviews if I used my other plot. It was cheap and stupid :P!

Sneaky Ninja05 : Don't worry, I'll try to update ASAP! Unfortunately the story maybe has 3-5 chapters left. But don't take my word for it. I already said once that this story won't be more than 15 chapter and…well…look where it is now :D!

Bbq472 : he'll come back soon, don't worry! And thanks for the review!

Xx Annabella Princess xx : I know. It's going to be difficult saying goodbye to this story! It took all my summer! I'm not complaining though. I wished I could have reached 100,000 words with this story, but unfortunately the plot that I'm using doesn't let me reach that high and I can only expand my plot so much! It's already reached its elastic limit! [curses….i'm using physics :P!] Thank you for saying my story is perfect. But seriously, if you notice anything…anything that's wrong, please tell me! I want to give the best story to my readers :D!

Dark Latinas : We all love some sappyness and corny-ness right? XD! Thanks again. And also thank you for reviewing my other stories :D!

Liesygirl : Thank you very much! I will try to update ASAP!

AnnabethIsTheBest : What I meant by naughty is that she tried to get him to bed! Your description fits the word B-I-T-C-H! [I hope it shows :P!]

Ok so those are the reviews I received so far :D! thanks to everyone up here and thanks to those who will review in the future :D!

ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 17 – Guess Who's Back?

~Thalia's POV~

Knock, Knock, Knock

That stupid door! Who's the dead person knocking?

I yawned and tried to sit up. I obviously tried because I felt something holding me down.

Nico.

I smiled when I remembered that I actually slept with him in my cabin at camp. That's not something we'll be allowed to do so I guess I enjoyed it while it lasted. He was still asleep and was looking very calm.

Knock, Knock, Knock

I sighed and slid out of his grasp.

Checking my watch, I found out that it was 8:36pm.

What the hell?

All we slept was 10 minutes?

No wonder I was still tired.

Knock, Knock, Knock

I silently growled and went to the door.

"What the hell?" I yelled at…

Julia, Maria and Stephany were standing at the door as a wave of cold air entered the room.

"Oh, hey girls," I said, my anger completely forgotten. I was good friends with these Athenian girls so it was no use being angry at them.

Their face was filled with surprise and their jaw was literally on the floor.

"What?" I asked, eye brow raised.

All 3 of them pointed at me.

"What's wrong w…" but I trailed off when I realized that I wearing no shirt…but just a bra and pajama pants. I gasped and covered my chest, pulling the girls inside and closing the door.

"Looks like someone had fun," said Julia grinning.

"Yeah. I'm guessing this Nico guy Malcolm and Bianca told us about had something to do with your current outfit," said Maria. I rolled my eyes. They just couldn't keep their mouth shut now could they? But then I smiled and led them to my bed.

But before I went to my bedroom, I turned to the girls and said "Don't make any noise. Let's see how he acts."

They smiled and nodded.

I went into my room, put on a t-shirt and got under the covers next to Nico. The girls stood at the base of the bed, grinning like idiots. I'm doubting if they are Athena's kids because they really act like Aphrodite's kids!

Now we begin playing with Nico.

I gently removed some hair from his eyes and kissed his node.

He immediately smiled and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer.

"Nico?" I said softly.

"Thalia," he mumbled. "That lingerie is just too sexy."

My eyes widened, as did those of my friends. As I was blushing like crazy, they were doing what they could not to burst out laughing.

Stephany whispered something to Julia and she nodded. Then Julia looked at me and mouthed 'Kiss him' pointing at Nico.

"Why?" I mouthed back.

"Just do it!" she mouthed. The other 2 nodded.

I shrugged. What could possibly go wrong?

Apparently…a lot!

Just as I kissed him, his eyes shot open.

I gasped and he used this to his advantage as he slipped his tongue in my mouth and climbed on me, kissing me hungrily.

I couldn't see my friends and I was thankful for that for 2 reasons :

I was blushing like crazy.

I didn't want them to see how much I was loving it!

I kissed him back but he pulled away.

"I was about to make you mine for good," he said, grinning. He gave me a quick peck on the lips and pulled back.

"Now I hope you have a way to make it up to me for waking me up from such a sweet dream," he said again as he started to kiss my neck.

"Nico?" I said, slightly out of breath both from his attack on my mouth and neck. He was good, I can tell you that.

"Yeah?" he said, voice muffled against my neck.

"Do 3 of my girl friends make a good enough reason?" I said smiling.

He pulled back, eyebrow raised. "What?"

I pointed behind him and he turned around.

When he saw them he climbed off me quickly…but not back to his spot.

He fell on the floor, pulling the covers with him. When he did this, all of us burst out laughing at him.

He slowly stood up, face redder than a tomato. I've never seen him this embarrassed, not even when one of our mothers caught us in bed together.

We were still laughing at him, so he crossed his arms and waited. But can you blame us? It was hilarious!

When we calmed down, he pushed me a bit and I moved to his spot as he sat down in mine.

"Are they the morning wake up crew?" he asked smiling. They gave him a confused look.

Morning? Oh right! He thought it was morning.

"Nico, its still Friday. All we slept was maybe 10 minutes," I said, glaring at the girls who were smiling sheepishly.

His eyes widened. "Wow. I dreamt all that in 10 minutes."

When he realized what he said, he blushed, making all of us laugh at him again, even though I was blushing a lot too. To change the subject, I introduced my friends.

"Nico, these are my friends from the Athena cabin, Julia, Maria and Stephany."

He smiled. "Hi."

"Hey," they said giggling.

"Nice catch Thalia," said Maria grinning.

I smiled as Nico blushed slightly.

But then he grinned his evil grin which meant that something bad was going to happen. To me probably.

"Ladies, can you give us a moment. I have to punish Thalia for waking me up and I think I have an idea or 2 how," he said faking being polite.

My eyes widened and our jaws dropped. Then the girls burst out laughing and left. But before they left, they said "Have fun!"

I looked at Nico when I heard the door close and he was grinning, which made me roll my eyes.

I went to get up from bed but he grabbed me by my waist, pushed me on my back and pinned my hands above my head.

"Where do you think you're going?" he said, grinning mischievously.

I smiled. "Let me guess…nowhere?"

Instead of replying, he kissed me hungrily, shoving his tongue in my mouth, sending me in a state of bliss. Then he pulled back and let my hands go. I tried to reach for his head and bring him back down to me but I couldn't move them. I looked up and found that they tied to the bed post with a piece of rope.

"What the?" I asked.

He grinned. "I found the rope on your nightstand."

Oh right…I keep a piece of rope there to practice my knotting, which I was hopeless at.

He leaned in and whispered. "Now, about that punishment."

I gulped.

I knew that he was definitely going to kill me tonight.

But, being the loving boyfriend that he is, he asked me if I wanted this and that if I was prepared.

Thankfully my mother put me on the pill after the 1st time she caught us together. I told her that we won't be doing it anytime soon but she said that I wouldn't know when it would happen, so I best be prepared.

And now I have one thing to say.

THANK YOU MUM!

Also, note to self. Must have revenge on Nico. I think it's only fair that if I was going to be the victim tonight, he should be one too someday.

The next morning I woke up at about 8am. I was very sore and could barely move a muscle. I was very tired because Nico made sure I had the best 1st time ever.

I sighed as I remembered what happened last night, causing the guy I love to move beside me and wrap his arms around me, opening his eyes.

"Morning," I said smiling.

"Morning," he said as he kissed my cheek. "You OK?"

I rolled my eyes. Stupid Nico, of course I was OK! How can I not be after the best time of my life!

"Yeah I'm fine," I said smiling. "A bit sore because someone was a bit rough but I'm OK."

Worry filled his eyes. "Was I too rough?"

I sighed and smiled at him. "Nico I said I'm fine. You gave me the best time of my life. Now let's go get some breakfast."

The worry was replaced by happiness and he nodded.

Both of us got out of bed, fully clothed of course. Nico said that we should put on our clothes back on just in case someone walked in on us. I didn't want at the time but he was right.

"Hey, I'm going to my cabin to get changed then I'll come back here OK?" he said.

I nodded and gave him a kiss.

But before he left, he turned and said "You don't think we're moving too fast with this right?"

I shook my head. "It would've happened sooner or later. If not now, maybe in the next few months. Don't worry. As long as I'm on pill and our mothers don't know, we're safe."

He smiled, nodded and left.

With that I turned and headed for the bathroom.

I really needed a shower.

~Nico's POV~

Last night was beyond awesome.

But the second I stepped into my cabin, I knew something was going to happen.

I went to my room and changed. For a second I wondered where Bianca was but then I knew that if I found Malcolm, I'd find her.

When I was ready, I looked in the mirror and checked if everything was OK. I didn't do this often, but after what happened, I sort of thought that I would change.

Then I smiled.

"I can't believe we did that!" I said, talking to myself.

"Did what?"

Shoot!

I turned and saw Bianca in the doorway to my room, arms crossed.

"What?" I asked, playing dumb.

"Don't try to act all innocent Nico," she said as she came to me. Then she grabbed me lightly by the shirt. "What did you do? And who's 'we'?"

I hesitated. Should I tell her? I mean, we were going to tell everyone someday…but still…

Then I remembered what she and Malcolm did.

"Why did you send those Athena girls to Thalia's Cabin?" I said slightly annoyed.

She smirked. "Why? Did they interrupt something important?"

I rolled my eyes and pushed her away gently. Partly because I was annoyed at the way she grabbed my shirt. Partly to hide the small blush that crept on my face.

"Yes. We were asleep," I said nonchalant.

"We?" she said grinning.

I scoffed. "Like you too don't sleep together."

"No we don't," she said proudly.

"Bianca where are you?" someone called from the other room.
